High Priority Patch

Could someone post the High Priority entry in Windows . I've tried :


%comspec% /C "start /HIGHfsx.exe" and can't get to load


Thanks Rich
 
Huh?

I don't get what you're doing, but for what I've done to pretty much accomplish the same goal. To launch FSX at high priority, I made a batch file, as follows:

start /high fsx.exe

Put that in Notepad and save as a .bat file. It'll then launch FSX as high priority. Just replace all the shortcuts to FSX to the batch file, and change the shortcut(s)'s icons.
 
Actually you solved the problem . The space was the problem .
Thanks to both for your replys .

I'm intrigued, but also somewhat ignorant here. What does this batch file do for running FSX? Does it make FSX run or start faster? Also, where do you place the batch file after creating it?
 
It changes the priority for the fsx.exe process from normal to high. If you are familiar with the task manager then go to the process tab, select a process, right click on it, select set priority, and you will see the current priority for that process. Don't get greedy and make it realtime!

So setting FSX to High priority will make it run better? Also, where do you place the batch file after creating it?

I would be careful with that. I've accidentially set FSX to "above normal" priority once and got a neat CTD when I ALT+Tab'ed. The sim itself stuttered as well.

The batch file has to be in the same directory as FSX.

Also, what does the original poster's code do?

The same thing?

Well, I'm thinking it'll achieve the same thing, but how?

Will it automatically set the process as high when FSX is launched?

I'm sorry to say I can't answer that question . This change has been around for awhile now . Excuse my ignorance but I really don't know if it makes a significant difference or has a performance boost . From what I've read I assume it saves more of the systems resources for FSX . (I quess) Does it load FSX automatically at a higher priority , I don't know . Maybe someone will jump in here with alot more knowledge than me and answer our questions.

Actually, I did it by right-clicking on my shortcut and pasted that in as the target...it was a long time ago. Seemed to work better for me :d

Ah, I see now. It can be used as a shortcut.

My way is harder and more complicated :p.

Whatever :d.
 
Copied straight from the box...%comspec% /C "start /High fsx.exe"
I have FSX installed to the default location.
